  1. 1 Separate the white of the salted egg from the yolk. Mash the white with a spoon in a small bowl or blend in a food processor. Divide the yolk into four pieces and set aside.
  2. 2 In a medium heat-proof bowl, mix together the ground pork, salty egg white, regular egg, soy sauce, sugar, salt, pepper and milk using your hands. The milk will make the texture smoother. Let stand for 15 minutes to marinate. In Chinese cooking, this is the best time to prepare the rest of the dishes for the meal and begin cooking rice.
  3. 3 Take the pieces of salted egg yolk and push them into the pork. Smooth the top of the pork until it is flat and even. Arrange broccoli florets around the outer edge of the meat.
  4. 4 Place the bowl in a steamer or in a large pot with a couple inches of water in it. Set over medium-low heat. Steam until the meat is browned throughout, about 30 minutes. Serve with rice. The yolk is the most coveted part of the dish. Ration it carefully! It is very salty, so it is best to eat the yolk a tid bit at a time with a larger bite of meat, mixed with a mouthful of rice.

  1. 1 To make the filling: Place ground pork, green onions, garlic, ginger, 2 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon soy sauce, sesame oil, and cayenne in a mixing bowl. Top with chopped green cabbage. Mix with fork until thoroughly combined. Tamp down lightly; cover with plastic. Refrigerate until chilled, about an hour.
  2. 2 To make the dough: Place 2 ½ cups of flour and kosher salt in a mixing bowl. Slowly pour in hot water. Stir with a wooden spoon until mixture forms a shaggy dough. Flour your hands and transfer dough to a work surface. Knead dough until it becomes smooth and elastic, about 3 to 5 minutes. If dough seems too sticky, sprinkle with a bit more flour, up to an additional 1/2 cup, and continue to knead. Wrap dough ball in plastic, and let it rest about 30 minutes.
  3. 3 When dough has rested, divide into 4 equal pieces. Cover 3 pieces with a dish cloth while you work the first piece. Roll into a small log about the thickness of a thumb, about 3/4 inch. Divide each log into 6 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a thin 3 ½-inch circle on a lightly floured surface to form the pot sticker wrappers. Repeat with the remaining dough pieces.
  4. 4 Lightly moisten the edges of a wrapper with your wet finger. Place a small scoop of the ground pork mixture onto the center of a wrapper. Fold up the 2 sides and pinch together in the center. Pinch together the remaining edges, forming "pleats" along one side. Tap the pot sticker on the work surface to slightly flatten the bottom; form a slight curve in it so it stands upright in the pan. Transfer to a well-floured plate. Repeat with remaining dough and filling.
  5. 5 To make the dipping sauce: Mix seasoned rice vinegar and soy sauce together in a small mixing bowl. Set aside.
  6. 6 Heat oil in skillet over medium-high heat. Place about 6 or 7 pot stickers in the hot oil, flat-side down. Cook until bottoms are golden brown, about 2 minutes. Drizzle in water and quickly cover the pan; steam for 3 minutes. Uncover; reduce heat to medium. Continue cooking until water evaporates and bottoms are browned and crunchy, 1 or 2 minutes.

Instructions

  1. 1 Whisk rice wine and cornstarch together in large bowl. Add ground pork, 2 tablespoons green onion, soy sauce, ginger, sesame oil, and sugar; stir until well combined and paste-like, about 10 minutes. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
  2. 2 Place about 1 tablespoon pork mixture in the middle of a wonton wrapper. Brush edges with beaten egg and pinch edges to seal, creating a small pouch. Repeat with remaining wonton wrappers and pork mixture. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  3. 3 Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add bok choy, snap peas, carrot, and 2 tablespoons green onion, cover, and steam until tender, 2 to 6 minutes. Remove and distribute evenly among 4 soup bowls.
  4. 4 Place wontons in steamer basket and steam until pork is no longer pink inside, about 10 minutes. Remove and place in soup bowls alongside vegetables.
  5. 5 Heat chicken broth and water in a saucepan until hot, 5 to 7 minutes. Pour hot broth mixture evenly into soup bowls atop vegetables and wontons. Sprinkle 1/4 cup chopped green onion evenly over each bowl.

Instructions

  1. 1 Combine pork, cabbage, dandelion greens, bamboo shoots, 4 minced green onions, bok choy, 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 4 teaspoons sesame oil, 3 cloves minced garlic, 1 tablespoon minced ginger, 1 teaspoon sugar, salt, and white pepper in a large bowl. Cover the bowl; refrigerate 6 hours to overnight.
  2. 2 Beat egg white with 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl; set aside. Place 1 wonton wrapper on a flat work surface (cover additional wrappers with a moist towel to prevent drying); place 1 tablespoon pork mixture in center of wrapper. Brush edges of wrapper with egg white. Fold wrapper around filling and seal edges with a moistened fork. Repeat with remaining wrappers, pork mixture, and egg white.
  3. 3 Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; add dumplings, in batches, seam-sides up. Cook until dumplings are slightly brown, 30 to 60 seconds. Pour ½ cup water into the skillet; cover. Gently steam dumplings until they begin to sizzle and water evaporates, 7 to 8 minutes. Flip dumplings; continue cooking until bottoms begin to brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Repeat with remaining dumplings.
  4. 4 Combine ½ cup soy sauce, hoisin, vinegar, 2 tablespoons chopped green onion, remaining 4 teaspoons sesame oil, 2 teaspoons chili oil, remaining 2 cloves minced garlic, remaining 1 teaspoon minced ginger, and remaining 1 teaspoon sugar in a large bowl for the dipping sauce.
